ok, thanks.
Might I suggest, since you are working with an MSYS toolchain, that youfirst
investigate why MSYS .sh does not parse text on windows, and yet the svn
no idea, probably this is intended behavior since most projects only
provide LF-style tarballs??
implementation for MSYS implementation does not export/check out in thesame
unix convention? This is most certainly at odds.
unfortunately I dont have a MSYS implementation of svn, and here the cat
starts biting into its tail:
1 - up to now MSYS/MinGW support for APR/APU is incomplete/not fully working
2 - svn depends on APR/APU
3 - hard to build an MSYS/MinGW svn because of 1
beside that even if all would work fine I dont know (yet) if subversion
can be configured to use LF as native on windows platform, and without
that most likely you end up with a CRLF version since MinGW is targeted
to build native windows binaries just like the MSVC toolchain ...
anyway, I'm aware that the prob mainly exists because there's no svn
binary yet available for MSYS/MinGW (at least I'm not aware of any).
Also see that I personally have no prob with this - I have a Linux box
as well as Cygwin which both do the 'right' (LF) checkout for MSYS ...
(and of course I've also dos2unix/unix2dos binaries).
I have now also posted to the subversion list if they are willing to
support override of eol style with checkout too (as possible with
export), and so far got one interesting reply about how git handles it:
